With the rapid advancements in mobile computing technologies and the ubiquitous Internet access, the number of criminal investigations involving digital evidence is fast growing.

There is an increasing demand in the industry for those who are suitably trained and qualified to undertake these investigations. MSc Forensic Computing brings together every important aspect of digital forensic examination to support criminal investigation involving digital evidence.
